6. Add Lemon Juice: After searing, drizzle lemon juice over the chicken for an extra layer of flavor.
7. Bake Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Rest Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
